re: 2013 LSU Football Commitment List

quote:quote: Josh McNeil is one of the top prospects in America and has over 40 scholarship offers. On Thursday night, McNeil trimmed his list to five schools. “Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Miami are my final five schools,” said Josh McNeil (6’5/240). McNeil will visit Alabama this Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, he will head to Georgia. He will also visit the school that offered him tonight very soon. “I just confirmed I will be taking a visit to LSU with Lewis Neal (6’2/235) when he goes on June 23,” he said.

I think he will be looked at as a LB first. Lateral quickness and whatever his projected natural size is will likely determine if he plays on the line or in the gap. I see a 4.95 40 on Rivals - that is not super encouraging, but he was certainly offered based on camp performance - there's more to playing football than raw measurables.

(Rickey Jackson famously ran 5.0/5.1 second 40s - but was fast enough in the game to get the job done.)
